hello all,

"chatr" will help you sort out the libraries used, at least the dynamic stuff.

for statically linked stuff, i don't know anyway to relate the symbol in the exec back to a specific object file. you would probably need all of the .o files and the associated link commands to sort it out....

look at the odump(1) man page for the "-compunit" flag and elfdump(1) man page for the "-dc" flag.

nm -px on IPF will list the source files under "a".
